What are Wall Street analysts saying about Autoliv stock?

Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Autoliv stock:

1. Mizuho analysts commented, "We believe there could still be challenges to ALV’s LVP estimate of down ~1% 2019 SAAR assumption (vs IHS up 1.1% 2019 LVP growth) given China/ Europe declining 14%/9% y/y now and high inventory levels in China. China slowdown, offset by strength in U.S though it could see U.S. slowdown. ALV noted it grew better down only 3.8%" versus the ~15% decline in China though softer in Europe down 6.4%" versus EU down 4.6% with slower LVP, but U.S was the strongest growing ~20%. While ALV expects 2019 U.S to remain strong, with OEMs cutting back on sedans, rising interest rates and historical high in U.S dealer incentives could point to 2019 U.S challenges." (1/29/2019)

2. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Product launches and improving light-vehicle production in North and South America are anticipated to drive Autoliv’s financials. Also, its ongoing plan of production line redesigning will reduce costs related to product launches. The company also pays dividends to reward shareholders. Moreover, Autoliv also expands its footprint through acquisitions and JVs. Over the past three months, shares of the company have outperformed the industry it belongs to. However, for 2018, the company has reduced its guidance due to uncertain demand in China and Europe. At present, the company anticipates organic sales growth of 8% compared with 10% stated earlier. Additionally, new tariffs, leading to rise in raw material costs and product launch-related costs, might hurt the company’s profit margin." (12/5/2018)
